Some interesting brief excerpts regarding Senator Schumer’s plans:
Sen. Schumer: "Republicans! Trump! Hold feet to fire… We’re going to be tough… Bernie!... Elizabeth!... Bernie!... I tend to agree more with Trump than I did with Obama and Bush (on) trade. I think free trade has been a loser… and if he (Trump) comes up with a really good trade position we’re not going to just necessarily say no… Hold his feet to the fire… Will not sacrifice principles for the sake of compromise… Bottom line...Hold his feet to fire… Tooth and nail… “
Hold up. He takes a position regarding the Supreme Court. “We are not going to settle on a Supreme Court nominee. If they don’t appoint someone who’s really good we’re going to oppose them tooth and nail.”
Question from Maddow, “So you will do your best to hold the seat open?” Schumer, “Absolutely.”
Well… I feel assured...
Ok. Gotta do to some actual work. Maybe some brief excerpts regarding Senator Sander’s plans later.
